Salsatón is a relatively new subgenre of both salsa and reggaeton. The songs primarily have salsa melodies and percussion, with reggaeton-style beats, such as the dem bow, and, occasionally, rapping. The genre in its primitive form was experimented with by Puerto Rican singer Andy Montañez, when his album “Salsaton- Salsa con reggaeton” (featuring the likes of Daddy Yankee, La Sista, Voltio, John Eric and Cheka) was released in 2006. A month later, a compilation called “Latino Salsaton” was released by Azzura Music.

Recently, this movement has been popularised all over the Latin American nations. One of the major contributors of the movement “Salsaton” has been the band “Francisco y Fernando”, comprised of two Venezuelan musicians. Classic salsa musicians such as Tito Nieves and La India have also contributed to the subgenre.

In November 2006 the album “Los Cocorocos” was released. Performers on this album include: Tego Calderon, Victor Manuelle, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Zion, Domingo Quinones, Don Omar, Tito Nieves, Pedro Brull, John Erick and Voltio. This also has strong salsa influences, and some claim it was released in response to “Salsaton-Salsa con reggaeton”.
